    I'm a sucker for K-bars. They have the iconic fruit soju's served in the actual fruit peels (watermelon and pineapple). Love their budae jjigae [army stew], which is the epitome of comfort food. And their bonchon selection is also solid. Dishes are easily shareable -- I love family style, so a great place to dine with a group. Ample seating, so we've always been seated with little wait time. Great place for drunchies!! Parking lot, also street parking available.

    I was craving some Korean food pretty late in the evening and found this place was opened til 1:30am so I dragged my friend there to try it out with me. When we arrived, the waitress barely acknowledged us and we stood awkwardly at the door until she waved at a table in the middle back of the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't that crowded so we were both a bit surprised by the waitress being upset and short with us. It took a few minutes before she brought us some menus and water and after we ordered, we decided to draw a bit on the blackboards that cover the walls surrounding our seat. We had ordered their dduboki, sweet chili drumsticks, and pork katsu as well as a regular lychee soju cocktail and when everything arrived, we were pleasantly pleased with the large quantities. However, we did notice that we were given a large cocktail instead of a regular and every time I tried to get the waitress's attention, I was ignored several times so we ended up keeping the large drink. Thoughts on the food: Dduboki: The classic Dduboki is hard to mess up and while it's typically a very cheap dish to make, the $15 price point made me think it was going to be something special. However, we live in SoCal so that's just wishful thinking. Overall, it still tasted good. 7.5/10 Sweet chili drumsticks: Once of my favorite dishes to order at Korean restaurants are their fried chicken. I don't know what magic they add to their chicken but god damn they tasted fantastic! The perfectly crispy skin slathered with the sweet yet spicy sauce made for a delicious meal. 9.2/10 Pork Katsu: This dish was leaning toward the drier side, flavor was good but I wasn't a fan of how thin the pork was compared to the crust. 5/10 Lychee soju cocktail: A tasty cocktail that made the night more fun, the large was made for sharing and luckily I enjoying it alone. 8/10

    recently tried the galbi-jjim at thangthang and it was absolutely amazing! The meat was incredibly soft and tender, cooked to perfection. The veggies were warm and had the best sweet and spicy glaze, which added a burst of flavor to the dish. I loved how it was served in a hot pan, keeping everything nice and hot. Pairing it with rice was the perfect combination. The only downside was that the soju cocktails were a bit too sweet for my taste. But, theyre perfect for sharing with friends and delicious if you have a sweet tooth
